Game of the Week: LiChaob, Zhou Weigi

Tournament: Chinese Championship 2013

ECO: D15: Slav Defence:4 Nc3 a6 and gambit lines after 4Nc3 dxc4

The Chinese Championship lacked a couple of stars, notably Wang Hao and Liren Ding, but still presented a formidable round-robin field. Wang Yue, the top rated and best known player, took first comfortably, but we will feature a game from 24-year-old Li Chao, Wang Yue’s good friend and occasional coach. Against Zhou Weiqi, Li Chao produced an opening novelty that soon led into a highly tactical endgame, with subtle errors ultimately making the difference.
